Porcupine Full of Spiky Surprises

A plump porcupine sits quietly, his nose almost twitching and his dark eyes peeking out from under a forest of sharp, wild quills. His tiny paws press softly against the ground, while his round ears poke up on each side of his head like fuzzy little secrets. Quills shoot up and out in every direction, looking like a bundle of carefully sharpened pencils waiting for color.

The porcupine’s thick fur covers his belly and face, making him look extra soft—if only it weren’t for those prickly spikes! His tail curls gently behind him, matching the flow of his fur and bristles. This prickly fellow stays still and watchful, ready for someone to bring those quills to life with color and imagination.

Fun Fact!

Male porcupines will sometimes perform elaborate "dances" and spray urine on females during courtship rituals.
